No Time To Stamp?

Today we enjoyed a traditional turkey dinner with my side of the family at a local restaurant (oh, SO easy!) and tomorrow we will be spending time with Steve’s side of the family where we will get the chance to see for the first time our latest brand new great-nephew.  I made this card for him: [...]

Today I have a no-stamp baby girl card to share.   I keep relying on Kaisercraft’s Lullaby Collection pad for my baby cards of late.  LOVE the little focal/sentiment images included in the pad, making the process quick and easy. This card is 5.5″ square, fitting perfectly into my 5.5″ Square Clear Boxes. I’m totally smitten [...]

Girl or boy — pink or blue?  No one knows (now isn’t that nice for a change!), so rather than going with the gender neutral greens or yellows, I chose to do a card that is both pink and blue.  Here it is: The paper I used is a  yummy baby pad with GORGEOUS prints –  [...]

Today I made a baby boy card for The Shabby Tea Room Challenge using some totally lush baby paper.  Take a look:   This card is a standard A2 size, 5.5 x 4.25″.  This is yet another no stamp creation — quick, easy and FUN to do! I adore the sheets in this pad — [...]

Today I just felt like playing with ribbon — so I did!  I’ve been in SUCH a pink mood of late, so PINK it was.  And VINTAGE.  I’ve been wanting to put together more Ribbon Samplers for ages, and today was my start — I’m so pleased with the results and I hope you are, too! [...]

Two’s Company  – Deb Neerman provides a second challenge for us this month.  Today Deb is suggesting that two’s company … three’s a crowd?  That’s true because this week we challenge you to use “2 of Something” on your card or other project.  Some fun twosomes include: 2 different patterned papers, 2 different stamped images, [...]

Star Light, Star Bright — This week we will focus on incorporating stars into our projects — partriotic stars; A+ Great Job! stars; twinkle, twinkle little stars — ANY kind of stars you like.  Use punched or die cut stars, stickers, star paper — you get the idea.  Just show us some fabulous stars this [...]

Tonight I needed a quick card to mail out tomorrow for a brand new baby girl.  Cotton Scraps to the rescue! No stamping — quick and easy, using Baby Girl Cotton Scraps for my focal image and Ducks in a Row 8×8 Pad by October Afternoon, dressed up with some buttons from my stash and [...]

I have two baby-themed items to show you today.  First is a quick gift I made for a new baby by just gussying up a store bought set of Johnson’s bath/body products for baby that I picked up at Wal-Mart.  Take a look at what I bought: Bedtime bath/body products in a cute, fuzzy container, [...]
